President George W. Bush's speech
after
the capture
of Saddam
Hussein:
"The success of yesterday's mission is a tribute to our
men and women now serving in Iraq. The operation was based on the superb work of
intelligence analysts who found the dictator's footprints in a vast country. The
operation was carried out with skill and precision by a brave fighting force.
Our servicemen and women and our coalition allies have faced many dangers in the
hunt for members of the fallen regime, and in their effort to bring hope and
freedom to the Iraqi people. Their work continues, and so do the risks. Today,
on behalf of the nation,
I thank the members of our Armed Forces and I
congratulate them!"
Barrack Hussein Obama's speech after the killing of Osama bin
Laden:
"And so shortly after taking office, I directed Leon
Panetta, the Director of the CIA, to make the killing or capture of bin Laden
the top priority of our war against al Qaeda, even as we continued our broader
efforts to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat his network. Then, last
August, I was briefed on
a possible lead to bin Laden. It was far from certain, and it took many months
to run this thread to ground.
I met repeatedly
with my national security team as
we developed more information
about the possibility that
we had located bin Laden hiding
within a compound deep inside of Pakistan. And finally, last week,I determined
that we had enough intelligence to
take action, and
I authorized
an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice. Today, at my direction, the United States
launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad,
Pakistan."
Obama did not once acknowledge our brave men and women who fight for our country. . . .and that, my friends, is chicken shit!!
